Czech director Ondřej Provazník stops by for his Stream Close Up. His film Broken Voices recently premiered at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival where it was nominated for a Crystal Globe award.

Loosely based on a true events, Broken Voices is a nuanced story about an elite girls’ choir and how a young woman must navigate the competitive nature of her peers and manage the advances of a controlling and less than honorable choirmaster. Featuring amazing debut performances, the film provides a fresh take on an all too familiar subject.

Ondřej joins us as part of our continued coverage of the 59th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. We'll discuss his somewhat unique approach to tackling this sensitive subject and hear about his source of inspiration for making the film.

Also worth noting, since we recorded this, Kateřina Falbrová who has the lead role in the film received a special mention from the festival jury for her debut performance.

Here's the link to the song that we discussed: Sbirka Zvadlejch Ruzi https://open.spotify.com/track/63RXRPKS1HnF63iPe5eeq5?si=6fe125edf7e045a6
